Barry demonstrates a routine that even the professionals find tough. It severely tests your cueing technique as potting the balls gets progressively more difficult. It is a routine to help your cueing technique and cue ball control. And remember, you should not get frustrated about not being able to complete it.
Getting the basics right, when playing snooker, is fundamental if you want to improve. In this video, Barry reviews and highlights some of the most important aspects of cueing. Please view other videos on the channel which cover the topics mentioned in more detail.
Correcting flaws in your game may mean changing something that, when corrected, will feel uncomfortable and awkward initially. Here Barry reviews the dominant or master eye.
Improving your game often involves sighting changes. Here Barry demonstrates how to review centre ball striking and correct alignment.

Coping with pressure during match play is very important in snooker. Here, Barry re-caps why your pre-shot routine plays such an important role in coping with the mental pressures of the game. He explains in more detail some of the important points about the pre-shot routine to develop your mental strength. This has already been mentioned briefly in Barry's introduction video about the subject.
It's sometimes good to have a bit of fun whilst still learning and acquiring snooker skills. Here Barry describes a game that is played on a snooker table that can be enjoyed by multiple players at the same time, a game called SCRUB. It is called Scrub because if you foul during the game you scrub all of your score. It is fun and It is suitable for the average beginner and club player.
Some knowledge with regard to the geometry of a snooker table can enhance your play. Here Barry demonstrates a bit of table geometry which could help you determine the outcome of your shot and help to place you in a better position against your opponent.

Barry looks at an alternative way to practice your cueing when you do not have access to a snooker or pool table. It may be amusing, certainly imaginative but definitely helpful if you want to improve and groove your cueing technique.
Using a visual training aid Barry discusses the main target area for striking the cue ball, especially side (english). He uses one example (potting the black from it's spot) to show how much side he would apply to the cue ball on this particular shot.
How do you aim when the object ball is near the cushion and the cue ball is at an acute angle to it? Barry explains the aiming technique when taking on this difficult pot. This scenario shows the black near the top cushion rail.
The 'squeeze effect' can cause the Ghost ball sighting method to break down when potting from certain angles. Barry demonstrates a solution to the problem.
Barry catches up with Selina to see how her Snooker playing has been progressing since her first lesson only a few months ago. This video follows Barry and Selina in a follow up coaching session as he continues to help improve her game.

Barry also sets a challenge to test your cue power.
Barry demonstrates, with a clearance, how open table practice helps a player to learn positional play and cue ball control. He describes each shot that he plays, and every shot is seen from his point of view using a headcam.
Barry seeks to answer the question, what is timing? With the aid of a special high speed camera and expert analysis, he attempts to see if contact time between the cue tip and the cue ball has any bearing on achieving good timing. This part one video provides interesting imagery that proves the ability to measure contact time. A future video will provide more definitive and conclusive data.
Barry demonstrates a trick shot by potting a long blue without looking. However, there is a meaningful reason for it, because it serves to demonstrate the purpose of fixed points to help keep the cue in a straight line when playing a shot.
Barry gives his response to questions he has had about 'textbook' basics with regards to straight cueing. He refers to shoulder, elbow and wrist issues but ultimately "Whatever helps to deliver that cue straight is right for you".

Barry talks about an unintentional flaw in a player’s game. A player quite often introduces another flaw to counter the first flaw. So is it a cause for concern? He discusses this issue by highlighting some examples, suggesting that if a player is unhappy, and it is holding back their progression, then corrective action is needed.
Isolating a skill to practice is a very useful way to improve your game. Here, Barry shows some scenarios to gain good position by making good use of the cushion rails around the table. It is likely you will come across these during a match, so gaining experience with regard to recognising the opportunity, pace, and where to hit the cue ball are skills well worth learning in isolation to then put back into your game!
